The bottom is flat. However, this bag is a lunch bag... I'm not sure it would fit your lunch items as well as a hard cover book.

The bottom is flat - but it would have to stand up in the bag and couldn't lay flat the long way. It is a nice durable cooler - but have noticed it sometimes leaks so instead of using ice cubes maybe try the cold packs. Overall great cooler!

The bottom is flat; but check the bag's dimensions to ensure that the book will fit.

Bottom is rather flimsy for books. I store blankets in mine, wouldn't put books in it!!It's a nice bench but the finish scratches very easily

Yes. It's a flat bag. You will have to put sand or something in it but looks just like what it looks like on the picture.

Not completely flat but it does recline a good amount. The one huge downside I found was when she was asleep reclined, I couldn't access my bag underneath.

No tall books and binders definitely can't stand straight up. I had to just lay them flat.

Mine sits upright most of the time. Similar to Jonathan's answer - depends on how you pack it - I'll typically have my laptop and a book or two in it, and it'll sit upright.

Well, REASONABLY flat, but it is still a bound book, so it will not behave like an 17" x 11" sheet of paper when open -- there is still a crease down the center at the binding and especially at the front and back, the pages will lay at different levels because they have different numbers of pages upon which they rest. The pages are attached to the binding in groups of 17"x11" pages folded in half, and the lining to which they are actually attached has extra material to allow the cover to lay flat while the pages themselves are turned. Hopefully, that makes sense.

Hello, sorry for the delay of the answer.The backpack is sturdy and the bottom too, it doesn't collapse when it's loaded. It's a very good bag for books and my daughter is very happy.

The bottom book is definitely the foundation. I haven't had any warping with mine, but I did make sure to use a larger hardcover; then I stacked lighter.

Yes, it is nearly flat when opened as most books would. My five-year old grand daughter has no problems writing in it.

Yes the bottom is flat. I use it for fish and it works great. The partition is removable and I do not use it.

The bag is marvelous, but literally one of the two features to make it perfect is that sitting upright feature. It lays, unless you have books and what not inside to make it sit upright.The second feature I wish it had was Velcro silencers. You have to buy them separately. Overall, still a great bag.

I bought this as a gift, but from what I remember the bottom was flat. You may want to ask someone else to make sure.

Mine do. I purchased two and are very happy with them. If you are looking for an item that is more functional, than this is not the item for you, but it serves its job as pretty storage. It does have a bottom... at least mine do.

The bottom has almost no padding on it. You have to remember this when you put your laptop in the bag. You can't just slam the laptop in like it's a book, you have to gently put it in there. Also, you cannot just drop the bag down, you have to carefully put it down so you do not damage the laptop. I have had this for a year and haven't had any problems.

The bottom of the bag is solid. It's a great bag. My son uses it daily & it's very well made.

The cover itself lays flat but the pages themselves don't lay as flat as a ring binder type would. But the pages stay open the same way any hard cover book does. Hope that helps?
